Over the last two weeks we have done "The touching trail" Were The kids get a book and find different textures, and shade them in their books with a crayon, and "Loosing a sense stations" Were the groups go to different stations and do a project deminstrating wat it would be like to loose a sense like: sight, smell, touch, ect. Teaching little kidsis kind of hectic, but i can deal with it. :-D YES Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:57:42 +0000 http://www.youthexploringscience.com/node/2176 I had a great time this summer at the yes teen program..I got to learn more about a lot of interesting things that i did not know...i made alot of friends here.I like all the activies that we did so far.....The activity that i really like is when i did the mirrored alphabets...

The kids just love playing it and all the YES teens in my group love it too. Besides that we had a awesome day today. The kids were really polite and nice, and they were really into the lessons which is one of the things I liked the most. It really feels good to see a kid having fun especially when its at your expense. ☺ YES Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:39:05 +0000 http://www.youthexploringscience.com/node/2172 This week was a great week. Our activities for this week were parter drawing, mystery bags, island vacation, loud and soft sound match, mirror alphabet,thamatroeps. The ice breaker was river and the grass and the kids really liked it. I really enjoyed having the kids and i feel that we really did a good job for them 3 days Tim was not here YES Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:37:54 +0000 http://www.youthexploringscience.com/node/2171 This week we taught the kids a new icebreaker called "in the river,in the grass'. The kids really enjoyed it and so did their chaperones. We also did a new lesson with them. We had different stations and the stations taught the kids what it would be like not to have one of their five senses. I think this week went really good and the kids learned something new. There's nothing better then a kid having fun and learning something at the same time. we only have a week and a half left I want to make it the best.

We taught the kids about seashells and let them sort seashells into groups based on size and color. After that, we talked about sea otters and what they eat. Then, they were able to make their own sea otter puppet. I think that they really enjoyed that activity.

We did this new project with the kids called the touching trails...and I think the kids really enjoyed it. What i love about doing this program is seeing the kids enjoy it. If the kids enjoy then I will enjoy it. There is nothing better then seeing the kids put a smile on their faces because they are having fun with what your teaching them. That is really great, and i hope to keep the smiles going. :D YES Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:49:51 +0000 http://www.youthexploringscience.com/node/2166 Today was pretty weird. There were just a lot of kids and sometimes that a good thing, but when they're out of control it's a bad thing. Today was good though not much problem and enough fun to go around.☻ YES Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:47:51 +0000 http://www.youthexploringscience.com/node/2165 TODAY WE WORKED WITH  NEW GROUP AND THINGS WAS FUN AND THEY KNEW ALOT ABOUT THE SEA SHELLS AND THE SNAKE AND WHAT LIVE IN A A SHELL.

YES Tue, 20 Jul 2010 17:16:41 +0000 http://www.youthexploringscience.com/node/2163 I really enjoy working/teaching kids, but most of all small kids. It's so fun when they have tons of energy and are enjoying themselves. One thing I found out today though is even though you may not realize it you make a lasting impact on those kids. For example even though I was teaching older kids today a group of younger kids that I previously worked with were at the building and what was cool was most of them knew me. AWESOME!!!!!!! I really starting to like this job and the experience I'm getting with it :) YES Mon, 19 Jul 2010 17:59:20 +0000 http://www.youthexploringscience.com/node/2162 THE KIDS THAT WE HAD WAS FUN AND THEY REALLY LIKED THE ANIMALS TODAY WAS A FUN DAY.
